I’m already 35, and I don’t think I could get anything at this age, especially in an area with almost no third places, almost nonexistent mental health system, etc.
Yes I know, friends do exist, but it’s just not the same (unless you happen to regularly have sex, cuddle, etc. with your friends).
Age has nothing to do with it.
I guy I know in his 60s (with a beard and big bear belly) who was single for a long time. Then he wrote a kind and very honest profile on a few dating sites about who he is (and isn’t) and what he’s looking for. The response was huge and he met a lot of people. Now 4 years later he’s in a committed long term relationship.
Agreed, dating apps were literally designed for this. Mention you have autism in your profile and it should mostly screen out people who would have a problem with that. If you are a guy keep in mind that you will have to do basically 100% of the first contact messages, and 99% of those messages will lead to nothing
